You have big ideas. A story to tell. A vision for how things could be different.

But turning those ideas into something real? That's where it gets tricky.

Whether you want to bring a story to life through illustration, explore your own creativity, or turn an ambitious idea into meaningful action, I can help you find a way forward.

What if you could reimagine the world around you?

Let’s make your idea a reality.

What I do

Illustration & design

Art that tells a story.

I create whimsical and colorful illustrations that help people imagine—and then build—the world they want to see.

From licensable designs and patterns to custom illustrations and live art experiences, explore my illustration services to find your story.

Art workshops

Develop your creative voice.

I teach drawing, watercolor, and illustration to adults around the Portland, Oregon region.

I design my in-person workshops to help you build your creative skills, confidence, and community.

Coaching

Create a new story.

I support changemakers to define their vision through creative coaching and project planning support.

The world needs your vision—now more than ever. Let’s work together to transform your spark of an idea into a strategy that works.
